Many of you Linux junkies will probably spend most of your time in terminals. So you may be wondering how to spice up the plain old boring-looking terminal environment. If you are looking to enhance the look of your terminal window, one way is screenFetch.

According to its creator, screenFetch is a "bash screenshot information tool". This tool can show inside a bash terminal various pieces of system information, as well as nifty ASCII arts such as your Linux distribution logo. screenFetch can auto detect your Linux distribution and display its logo. Currently it supports Arch Linux, Mint, LMDE, Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, SuSe/Opensuse, Mandriva/Mandrake, Crunchbang, Gentoo, Red Hat Linux, and Tiny Core distributions.

Actually you don't have to make it global executable by putting it in /usr/local/bin. You can create a local ~/bin directory in your home and put it there with the +x flag on it. Then just restart the terminal and you're ready to run it by your user. Putting something that don't required root privileges to execute in a system wide directory is a bad habit. :)
